  • question_answer
    When \[KMn{{O}_{4}}\]is reduced with oxalic acid in acidic solution, the oxidation number of \[Mn\] changes from [MNR 1987; MP PET 2000; CBSE PMT 2000; UPSEAT 2000, 02; BHU 2003; AMU 2002]

    A)                 7 to 4    

    B)                 6 to 4

    C)                 7 to 2    

    D)                 4 to 2

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

      \[5\underset{COOH}{\overset{COOH}{\mathop{|\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}}}\,+\overset{+7}{\mathop{2KMn{{O}_{4}}}}\,+3{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\to \] \[{{K}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+\overset{+2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}{\mathop{2MnS{{O}_{4}}}}\,+10C{{O}_{2}}+8{{H}_{2}}O\]                                 In this reaction oxidation state of \[Mn\] change from + 7 to + 2.
